Intel just announced a pair of desktop GPUs that promise to deliver 1440p gaming at a more affordable price than competing graphics from NVIDIA and AMD.

The Intel Arc B580 will be available starting December 13th for $250, while the Arc B570 will come a bit later, on January 16th, for $220.

Intel’s next — and possibly last — desktop graphics cards will begin arriving in just 10 days. Right on cue, the company has announced the budget $249 Arc B580 and $219 Arc B570, shipping December 13th and January 16th, respectively, as the “best-in-class performance per dollar” options in the GPU market.

Intel’s Arc Battlemage lineup includes the B580 and B570 with up to 12 GB of memory for budget-conscious gamers.

Intel has officially confirmed that there’s a big Arc GPU announcement tomorrow, on December 3, which surely must be Battlemage, as rumors have already suggested – and we’ve caught some leaked specs for the purported Arc B570 graphics card, too.

The company is targeting 1440p gaming and entry-level ray tracing performance with its Arc B580 and Arc B570 GPUs.

Intel's second generation discrete Arc GPUs based on Battlemage are due to arrive in a couple of weeks and we've got the full scoop.

Intel's second-generation Xe2 Arc GPUs are real, and once again, they could be compelling options for gamers looking for capable video cards under $250.
